Due to a great reduction in teams, St.Georg were actually "promoted" to
the 12th level in 2000/01 (there simply is not 13th level league in this
region anymore), where they are continuing their success story (at the
time of writing, 1 win (that a walkover) and 13 defeats with a 9-128
goal difference), cf. http://www.hfv.de/hfv/untere/HC02.html.

The West Midland Division One North is at the fifth level of the
English League Pyramimd. While there are lower-level leagues elsewhere
in England, the fifth level is the lowest possible level for a team in
the West Midlands. Bescot finished last in Division One North in
1999/2000 and was not relegated.

Before the 18 March 2001 matches could be played, the Burton Brewers ceased
operations. The league website stated that "the club have been struggling to
find players all season so the decision comes as no real surprise. Nevertheless
the club have done particularly well to continue this far."
The last defeat may be a British record.
Many thanks to the respective contributors.
